Fluorescent diagnostics with chlorin e6 in surgery of low-grade glioma

https://doi.org/10.24931/2413-9432-2021-10-4-35-43

Abstract

Intraoperative fluorescence diagnostics of high-grade gliomas is widely used in neurosurgical practice. This work analyzes the possibilities of fluorescence diagnostics for low-grade gliomas (LGG) using chlorin e6 photosensitizer. The study included patients with newly diagnosed LGG, for whom chlorin e6 was used for intraoperative fluorescence control at a dose of 1 mg/kg. During the operation, the fluorescence intensity of various areas of the putative tumor tissue was analyzed using the RSS Cam – Endo 1.4.313 software. Tissue samples with various degrees of fluorescence intensity were compared with the results of their histopathological analysis (WHO tumor diagnosis, Ki-67 index, P53, VEGF). Fluorescence was detected in more than half of the cases, but in most cases had a focal character and low fluorescence intensity. The fluorescence intensity directly correlated with the data of histopathological examination of tumor tissues (Ki-67 index (p=0.002), expression of P53 (p=0.0015) and VEGF (p=0.001)). The sensitivity of the method for LGG surgery was 72%, the specificity was 56,7%. Intraoperative fluorescence diagnostics with chlorin e6 can be used in LGG surgery, especially to visualize intratumoral areas with a higher degree of anaplasia.
